600 dollar OD pedal (Juma Supreme Drive)

[Uncle Pecos]

Man, I'm not sure what to think of this. On the one hand, there's the cost of the parts. On the other, there's the cost of R&D, Marketing, etc. But, we're not talking an iPhone or whatever here.

E: Maybe the TV commercials will only be aired in the US as I haven't seen them in my country yet.

I can get a Ceriatone, Lil Dawg, or Anderson amp for that....

Too cheap, no unobtanium mentioned, not interested.

Yeah, sounds like a prank to me.

 

[Brettski]

It doesn't sound BAD but I think $600 is a little nuts... okay, a lot nuts. If people are buying them though, more power to em.

 

[MmcGrouty]

The marketing is right up TGP’s alley, why isn’t there one on every board?

 

[Unchained81]

There's a sucker born every minute so someone will buy it. There are people here who pay $500 for a fuzz pedal so why not $600 for an OD?

 

[mmolteratx]

When all your ad talks about is the parts used, it’s really unlikely there’s anything special about the circuit. Looks like a a stripped Tubescreamer (Eternity style) with a discrete op amp and some giant caps. Waste of money.

Plus lol at “microharmonics” and “microdynamics”. Obviously marketed to those with more money than sense. Or the guy building them really is that clueless.

 

[doctorx]

I play a beat up Strat from the early sixties. I don't think it even has beautiful microharmonic and microdynamic details.

 

[olejason]

At this point I can't tell if the creators are really that stupid or if they're just being sarcastic knowing that a lot of guitar players really are that stupid.

3rd world PCB for twice the price of something like this?

 

[DrewwerD]

Nope.

 

[Radar]

Yeah who would spend $600 on an overdrive pedal? It's not like a Klon exists.

 

[FuzzyAce]

Or, you could get an Elektron analog drive for $360. Or 6 ts9's. Or 2 brand new bk tube drivers. Etc etc

Almost 3 elektrons. They are selling new for 222 on Reverb

LOL you know what would allow all of my guitar's beautiful microharmonic and microdynamic details flow through to my amplifier? No overdrive pedal at all.

The Heir to Klon with inflated price already built in.
